Or am I missing something really obvious?

(Using BIAB 2006 BTW)
I have a song that begins in C, then has a section in Ab and another in E, before returning back to C. I put all the chords in already. Now I'm trying to put the melody in using the notation window. At a certain bar I want the key signature to change in the notation window. I don't need any of the chords transposed. I think I read somewhere on a FAQ that to change keys you would use edit-transpose. But that's not changing keys, that's transposing. I also searched the forums but I only saw mention of this transposing method. Using this I would have to re-input the chords (not that big of a deal) and I still don't get a displayed key signature in the new key (what I'm really after here). I'd like to be able to keep inputting the melody without worrying about accidentals for every note.

I can't possible believe that a program that has so many options, that has covered so many possibilities, would not have the ability to do something sop basic. But if it's doable, it's certainly not obvious. Please tell me what I'm missing.

Thanks.

What you are missing is a newer version of BIAB. This has been possible in the Bar Settings dialog for several years. You will be amazed at the upgrade to BIAB 2012 for a large variety of reasons, including this one.

+1 to Matt's reply. With every revision the code gets smoother, the Real Tacks and Real Drums more plentiful, and the style base seems to keep growing. The last patch fixed a few rather major bugs and it's much better now than it has ever been.

Add in support that leads the league in customer satisfaction..... you can't lose.

Oh, and by the way, if you had a current version of BIAB and it did not do something you needed, there is a Wishlist forum. If I'm not mistaken, the ability to change key signatures came as a result of a Wishlist suggestion.

::sigh:: OK, thanks for the responses. I feared that was the case.
